John McClain's mock draft 2.0

1 / 33

Back to Gallery

I have changed 13 first-round picks in my second mock draft, including the Texans’ selection at No. 27.

I still believe the Texans will draft a wide receiver, but this week, I’m having them take Baylor’s Terrance Williams over Clemson’s DeAndre Hopkins.

The Texans might take Hopkins because he’s physical, blocks hard, runs precise routes and might be able to contribute faster.

But Williams was the best deep threat in college football last season, and the Texans need a big, young receiver who can stretch the defense. So why not Williams?

I also changed Dallas’ pick after Tony Romo received $55 million guaranteed in his new contract. Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro can’t protect Jerry Jones’ biggest investment, so I’ve replaced him with Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, a pick that makes more sense. Which means the Cowboys will take somebody else, right?
